This years John Henry Wigmore Club Dinner brought law alumni and
benefactors to the Mid-Day Club in downtown Chicago last October.

Guests heard a presentation, Despite Innocence: Wrongful Convictions in
America, by professor Larry Marshall (L85) and Rob Warden, legal director
and executive director, respectively, of the law schools Center
on Wrongful Convictions. They also participated in the unveiling of a
portrait of Robert Bennett, who served as law school dean from 1985 through
95. His portrait hangs permanently at Lowden Hall.

In other news, nearly 400 alumni and guests returned to the law school
in October to celebrate Reunion 2001. In addition to catching up with
friends and classmates at informal gatherings, participants took part
in a career satisfaction symposium and learned about the progress of the
schools strategic plan. Topping off the festivities were a grand
celebration cocktail reception and individual class dinners at the law
school.
